Nikki Laxar Art Opening
Borrowed Instincts: Salvages Selves'
Friday, July 10th | 5-8pm
Free Entry | All are welcome
..........
Borrowed Instincts: Salvaged Selves' is a collection of hand-cut collages by Burlington, Vermont artist Nikki Laxar, created from original mono printed papers and repurposed imagery. The work explores the intersection of human, animal, and landscape through hybrid forms that blur the boundaries between instinct, identity, and transformation. Celestial skies and the natural world become layered narratives of connection, memory, and belonging.
Constructed from reclaimed fragments, each collage gives discarded materials new life while reflecting the ways identity is continually shaped, shed, and reimagined. Working primarily in monochrome, Laxar strips away distraction, inviting viewers to discover richness in contrast, texture, and the enduring pull of the wild.
........
Nikki Laxar, owner and steward of The S.P.A.C.E. Gallery, was born in Burlington Vermont where she continues to create her own art, operate a community driven art space, and raise her family here. She graduated Essex High School and Tech Center in 2003 and is a self taught artist. Her studio is located in the South End Arts District within The S.P.A.C.E. Gallery.
Discovering the magic of watercolor in 2013 and became hooked to the medium instantly. Ever since, she has blended her talent of detailed ink illustrations with watercolor pigments to create a whimsical line of animal inspired reproductions and stationary goods. She works with acrylic paint to create in depth celestial creations and calming moon phases. She is currently exploring surrealism art through experimenting with hand cut collage.
.......
The reception will run from 5–8pm in the brewery. Light snacks will be provided in Deep City. Beer, wine, and other beverages will be available for purchase.
Following the reception, join us for a free concert by Connor Young + Cricket Blue in the brewery.
The exhibition will remain on view through August.
